The St. Louis Metro Area’s finest think that the man above was the one who shot the (white) Maryland Heights P.D. Detective from the back while he was casing out a part of Jennings the middle of the night a week before Kwanzaa Eve.
St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch is tooting his horn over the arrest.
Somewhere deep inside, I’m sure his analogue in the City, Jennifer Joyce, is also breathing a sigh of relief, as this worthy was a city resident and arrested there. If he hasn’t already, I’m sure he would have been a case on one of the desks in her office at some point in the near future.
I guess neither one of them recognize the irony of it all. Two words: Truth Squad.
A story which your blogmeister broke on the internet on another medium, and a one which Glenn Reynolds (The Instapundit) still references from time to time.
UPDATE 1/3: The above’s brother is now in custody. We find out in the same article that this seems to have been a deliberate ambush on a known law enforcement officer. Which throws even more egg in McCulloch’s face.
